The posting of consultants could be at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad offices of the SFIO. "Expression of interest is invited from eligible applicants for engagement as consultant-I/ consultant-II purely on short-term contract basis ...," SFIO said in the recent notice. With regard to the field of law, consultant-I should be an advocate with at least 10 years of experience at the Bar, while for consultant-II, lawyers with a minimum experience of four years are eligible.
Applicant for consultant-I in the filed of financial analysis should be a chartered accountant or costs and works accountant or company secretary with an experience of at least five years and consultant-II needs to have a minimum experience of three years. For other fields pertaining to banking and audit & accounts, consultant-I needs to have a master's degree in the relevant field and a minimum post-qualification experience of seven years. Consultant-II should also have a master's degree with five years of post-qualification experience. 
Retired employees of government or public sector undertakings or autonomous bodies are also eligible to apply for consultant-I and II under other fields. The SFIO, which comes under the corporate affairs ministry, has a total of 133 sanctioned positions. The probe agency is a multidisciplinary organisation having experts for prosecution of white collar crimes and frauds under the companies law.
